Allways fun watching
The delta is on!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This seasons videos have been top tier.
Morning brothers
Good morning dude!
Morning
It's crazy, I have been following you for 3ish years now. I love watching you fish the Delta. From an outside perspective it's almost like the Delta had some sort of generational die off of the older bigger fish.
11:59 that skip and bite was so satisfying
Greetings from SoCal, tough down here too, getting better with heatwave. I really liked the intro showing the tools and techniques.
And the wacky never fails. Great video Greg! Much love from NY
You put on a clinic out there.🔥
Hi from C Loma Greg! Another beautiful day made even better by your new vid. I learn something with every episode. Love that you showed the easy going Delta vibe perfectly!
I think it's just that time of year.. I've been catching nothing but dinks lately too; On the spinner bait, chatterbait, and senko. Randomly landed a 3lber+ on the senko, but that was it. Nice video though Greg! Super peaceful and relaxing to watch. No loud and obnoxious music
Man it’s been very tough out there in the delta for me can’t seem to get them figured out. Also constantly getting stuck with the green muck on all my lures. Thanks for all the uploads, watching you catch them gives me hope! Will be out there again on my day off.
keep up the grind, you'll run into them eventually
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. And I just noticed you do left and right hand retrieve.
Nice pick apart and great rod / bait choices. Looks a lot like Rodman fishing here.
Sup Greg..y’all a fishin fool…nothin wrong with that…my first wife called fishin,the F word..May she rest in peace…fish on…
The way you fish close and parallel to shore, I’m surprise you don’t have a fluke tie on.
I want to see what all you have in those dam Plano boxes lmao you have so many
I catch every little leaf when I punch, Greg throws into a jungle, BAM.
power of editing 😂
@@GregBlanchardFishing 😆
Just got back from a skunk. Time to boost my morale back haha. Thanks GB
keep grinding bro, it all evens outs in the end
@@GregBlanchardFishing thanks for the encouragement sir, means a lot coming from you. You’ve actually inspired me to save for a pedal kayak and eventually take part in tournaments!
I remember when Greg never fished a spinnerbait
never again
When you see the fish counter=dis gon be gud
A suh coffee gang
Fun video as always Greg, great editing. When rigging your punch do you feed the soft plastic over the eye of the hook and knot or no? Seems to be personal preference, curious if you had any input on it. Thanks!
great question! I like to get it over the knot and nice and flush with the weight to keep that baby smooth
I'm shocked you don't throw a weedless swimbaits or underspins more. You love the A-Rig haha just use one swimbait this time.
Is this in Tracy/holt area
Have you considered hosting a Dark Horse tournament? I'd travel from Arkansas to fish it.
Greg what brand crate is that? Looking for an upgrade on mine
What hook do you use dropshotting weedless
Are you using the fast action rod for spinnerbait or the moderate fast action rod?
mod fast on that winch series. That bit of delay helps let the fish eat the bait esp for trigger happy hooking setting fools like myself
@@GregBlanchardFishing i understand that
Watermelon senko is basically cheating …… 😂
Happy to see you fishing naturally without the video game live scopes in your face. It’s a testament to a true fishing champion and not a corporate hack. My father won more tournaments than I can count in the 80’s on lake Murray and throughout the nation with nothing but pure ability and instincts. Fish have not changed. Man has and it’s all greed. It steals the purity from the sport.
It’s cheating till you have one lol
@@Crank.d it’s taking fishing in a very bad direction. I refuse. It’s woke and weak! It’s the bud light version of fishing.
@@TheDarkHorse949 yea it is I find it more fun to see the fish on my lure not the screen
@@Crank.d 👍💥
I won't say that I'll never venture or try an advanced electronic system but I 100% get what you're saying. Fishing in it's purest form leaves room for excitement from the unexpected while lending to the true talent and instincts of an angler. There needs to be a line eventually made for tournament fishing at all levels but who knows what that'll be. All I know is that I get just as much joy catching fish from my paddle only kayaks as I do the ones I have fully outfitted.
I lived in the Bay for several years so Ive fished many of the places Greg has. For some reason, whether it be the editing style, or music, or camera angles, Greg's videos really put me back in those days fishing NorCal waters. It's like I'm actually back there on the water for 20 to 30 glorious minutes.
thats cool man and glad they give those vibes
Yes, my typical day on the delta also! Dinks. and semi- dinks! What the hell is a semi- dink, Greg? My opinion, dink is everything under 12". It is heating up every where! Thanks, Greg!
I love the introduction to this video, gave us a look at exactly what you’re using how it looks! Thanks, Greg!
Greg, I’m afraid you’re going to have to issue helmets to your Bass my friend. Either that or put foam padding at all critical locations on your boat. The poor things are getting concussions!!!😂😂😂
You put in the hard work man. You deserved this day.
Been a minute since i watched you greg, or any other fishing channel actually, gonna have to pick up where i left off. Tight lines bro
Let's go, motivation gonna get after it on my small ponds here in the bay..... let's freaking go....
Good stuff! I learn a lot through your content. One question, I've seen you use the Fish Stick scents alot before on your plastics. Yet there are times like this trip out where I didn't see you use it once. Is there certain conditions where it helps over others?
Good question. i use it mostly on frogs or bed fishing baits. Essentially baits where if you don't throw a hook into the fish they're more likely to hit again. That's the theory at least.
@GregBlanchardFishing ok that makes sense. Appreciate the info!
Yall should do the five Small fish challenge for the group trophy..
Honestly I’d rather get skunked then throw a wacky worm😂
Wow, a bunch of dinks, but 30+ fish caught in the day that's freaking awesome!! I can only dream of a day of fishing like that. 👍
I love the way you punch just just bomb it way up in the air and let her go
Looks like bethel island Think i found your spots over in the delta haha
Call native. The heat dont bring anything but angry liberals.
Are you going to get a titan x as your next kayak?
For sure. I want to get some serious time on the water with it and dial it. I think that kayak has a lot of potenital.
Nothing like some good coffee and Greg Clip.
where is your new titan 12.5x?
Hey maybe asked and answered but... I know from past videos you have a 2 battery system, how often do you have to switch to the second battery and how much power is left after a tournament? I'm considering an upgrade and trying to determine if I wanted to do the 3 horsepower Newport or not.
Man that just depends on the tournament and how many spots or areas I need to get to. I'd say on average I like to go as fast as possible (and burning battery quicker) during tournaments so between the two 24v 50ah Batteries I'm working with I'll go through one and a half by the end of an average tournament day.
GB, why don’t u give the Fluke any love? It must have broken your heart by running off with a 10 pounder. 😂
I gotta get my fluke game up! i hear you
Awesome video Greg and heyy i wanna say thank you for inspire me to get and try a baitcaster reel it is awesome 😎💯💯💯
Good day y'all..thanks Greg
Good to see I was right in your other video when I asked if that was a Berkley frog and you didn't answer I know why you didn't and I get you couldn't talked about it yet I saw larry Melton put his in a video and once I saw that I figured you would have the okay to show either way excited to hear your opinion on the frog in a future video
haha good eye man. Yeah, I'm excited about their frog. Caught a couple good ones this past week on it.
No fishing for me for a while it's 117 degrees this week out here in Arizona. Great video and tight lines.
damn lol
Outgoing tide is where it’s at now!
Another epic GB clinic 👌🏻.
Thank you for another great video! Always so inspiring and keeps me motivated to keep learning and keep trying! Can’t wait for the next 🙂
Mr. Greg . . . FUN day of fishing (QTY: 30+) 🤙. . . SWEET! Hey, CONGRATs with your inclusion to Team Native Watercraft and hoping it'll be a long lasting symbiotic relationship. For me, having you on their vid was true "click bait" 😜; didn't read the title . . . just saw your PIC and opened their vid. Enjoyed your break down and descriptions of their new kayak and I'm hoping Team Native Watercraft will hook you up with one soon so we can see you fish from it and see some "real world" experiences / results / outcomes using it. Out of curiosity, were you able to provide any insights / recommendations with the design, features, and options? I hope so as I really appreciate when companies / manufacturers listen to their end users' feedback, comments, and suggestions. Another wonderfully edited vid and looking forward to your next one 🤙.
Those little fish are holding in the shallows (lower O2) so the big fish holding in hydrilla, 5' deep don't eat them...
Oh shit, good morning!
You are great at what you do… keep it up!
It hit 106 in Texas 🔥
Mornin…finally got to watch 😮 Been a bit busy with a derby and recovering. It was one of those where I did everything I could to lose. I did not submit one and that cost me 11 places 🤦🏻♂️ I had three board jumpers and in a 10 limit derb that is suicidal 🙄 There goes a third place finish 😫 Not much a guy can do about the four that came off except play them instead of trying to put em in the yak too fast 🤷🏼♂️ I am
happy bc of the potential top 5 🎉 Best finish ever, well sort of. It will go better next time 😎 Great video Greg, thanks for taking us fishing with you 👊
The inu rig was always too involved. I'm not cuttin' straws every time I need a worm. Although, the OSP MMZ worms do a good job of mimicking that action.
Greg, it's fun to catch that amount of possibly 12" keepers. But you usually catch a few 5lb to 6lb, and hook a PB. I really believe this is the most confusing, and difficult, stingy Delta, trips out this season. Still great and, appreciated vid bro! 🛶 🌊 🎣
Morning Blanchard Fam! Cheers coffee drinkers or whatever your drink of choice in the morning! :)
Nice editing man!
Great videos
good morning greg
Dude the beginning slow background music isn’t it. I feel like I’m about to hear about some starving 3rd world children
Saving this video because of the intro on different set-ups. Vital information for me. Thanks.
Inv rig definitely works Greg! One morning they were being really weird and wouldn’t eat anything. We tried dropshot,wacky,a-rig,tx tig, and a lot of others but we tied on the into rig and in less than 30 min got a limit
Good stuff
Junk fishing yeah, but 97° - YIKES! I look forward to being as good an angler as you, and watching your videos help. When the Ranger is back from the shop (lower end and prop damage from rocks,) we'll take another try at the Delta. Now that I'm retired (I don't count the mobile notary part) I need to spend more time on the water and keep learning. Thanks Greg 🎣🤗🎣
What a day of catching. Definately wasn't fishing. Lol. Great video. Thanks Greg.
Walking up, getting ready to hit the water, while watching GBs, new drop for some motivation. LFG!
Just recently started watching your videos this last month. My Dad left me his Kayak when he passed. It's just a catch120 nothing like what you use but the tricks and techniques are still the same thank you for the knowledge.
Hey Greg, here is one for ya, the 5 inch is obviously common, what would make you go with a 6 or 7 inch stick worm ?
Been a while since I commented, been tough since the heat and humidity here! 😊 love the content Greg keep up there great work!!!
Yeah when he said it's 97 I was thinking to myself, I wish it was only 97 here. Our water temps in the lakes are pushing 90 right now.
subscribed right away when I saw your Sierra Nevada Brewing Neon light 😊 😊
Like watching a episode of speed dating… every other cast with the wacky rig, fish on!
It's kind of beautiful to see such a place wake up. Never having caught a Largemouth before, those small fish would keep me happy for a day or two. You fished it well with patience. I appreciate you bringing us along.
One question, this morning I watched a video from five years ago, in which you got some soft plastic baits called Dabs. To me they looked perfect for the Delta, is there further video I should be looking for?
Fun to watch. So much different than TVA lakes.
Hi Greg, just wondering, are you sponsored by either abu garcia or Berkley?
So Greg, when you gonna get that new Titan X and show us what it's got? Lol
whenever they send me one haha. I tried to steal the one at icast but was unsuccessful lol
@@GregBlanchardFishing lol, I bet you'll be on one soon enough! Give it time my friend!
Hot weather, hot dink bite and another awesome video. Cheers ☕. Thanks for letting us tag along.
Big bass love a 6'in senko I can't tell if that's a 5' or 6' you're throwing
The detail breakdown of gear in the intro is super nice.
Awesome time on the water. Always good when you are catching.
Current is key in the delta. Summer or winter these fish want that moving water.
What kind of hook are you using on your Drop Shot? Looks like a heavy punching hook
IMO the back ground music is slightly too loud. Could just be me but it makes it harder to hear you go over your gear. I think the music is fine it's just too loud compared to your voice :)
appreciate the feedback man. Always a tough call on how much to lower the background music during voice over content
No small fish challenge. Lol pleas No!
Great video as usual and love the intro with the gear breakdown.
I'm going to buy the new native titan x propel 12.5
I love Greg but man it stinks that he supports Berkely.
Love your editing!
😎🎣🎥👍
Greg b do you have any discount codes for native kyake
You should try a fluke next time and chartreuse the tail
Thanks for another great video, Greg!
Curious why you keep scupper plugs inserted ?
